Modifying Table Definition Properties

You can go to a Table definition's Properties screen in one of the following ways:

• From the Table's Properties screen: Click the hyperlink of the Table definition that appears in the Definition field. See Definition Source.
• From the Domain or Application Area where you created the definition: Click Manage Definitions to view all the definitions in that Domain or Application Area. Click the definition name.

Once on the Table definition screen, click Update to enter changes. Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub creates a new version of the definition. You can change the following properties:

• Name: See Naming Objects for further information.
• Description: See Creating and Using Object Descriptions for further information.

  You can modify some properties through the Actions drop-down list; see Using the Actions Drop-Down List for further information.

  See Setting and Modifying Table Attributes for a description of the following:

  • Process Type
  • Allow Snapshot
  • Blinding Flag
  • Blinding Status
  • Definition Source
  • Tablespace Name

• Modifying Columns
  To modify a Column in any way, you must check out the Table definition; Columns belong to the Table definition.
• Modifying Constraints and Indexes
  When you create a Table instance from a Table definition, the system copies the definition's constraints and indexes to the instance instead of referencing them there.
